Abstract

Abstract

The thermal sleeve assembly (referred to as thermal sleeve) is one of the main components of the control rod drive mechanism of the nuclear power plant reactor. Due to the impact of jet fluid on the lower end, the flange and the pressure housing are in contact and wear, which leads to the decrease of bearing capacity and impact resistance and affects the rod dropping function of the control rod. Based on Archard model, this paper puts forward the differential equations of structural wear characteristic time and thermal sleeve wear, decouples structural wear from operating condition parameters and material physical parameters, establishes a static wear analysis model suitable for thermal sleeve, and obtains the variation law of sedimentation with structural wear characteristic time. The results show that for the CRDM structure of HPR 1000, the maximum safety operation life of the thermal sleeve is at an inclination angle with 22.6°. By giving the contrast curve between the remaining operation life and sedimentation height, the evaluation method of thermal sleeve replacement and the treatment scheme of wear defects are provided for the operators of nuclear power plants.
